Linux desktop with X-Win 32

I did a tiny bit of fishing and found that with X-Win32 (and any X software I presume) I can sit at my Windows XP desktop and launch a window that contains the full Linux desktop. For the few that are interested, here's the support document describing how to set it up.

The only thing I did after running through the directions was to change my SSH connection to run the gnome-desktop instead of xterm.
/usr/bin/gnome-session >/dev/null 2>&1
I got a lot of error messages. Not knowing if I should care, I just funneled the messages away. Like any good user!!
